"Harry Caine is a productive beatmaker, always trying to perfect his
style and doing introspective music. “Sunrise” is a compilation of 8
instrumentals with jazz and soul samples with a 90’s hip-hop mood. This
beat-tape is a collage of dirty sounds, boombap and emotions. Harry
Caine is currently working with british rappers, so keep an eye on this
producer."

"Having a slew of EPs and compilation appearances on the labels Qunabu, Deepindub, LSD25, Load and Clear, Deep-X, Retrospective Zoology and Sound Source; Brickman now joins the Cold Tear
family, with his first ever full length album. “The Dark” contains not
only the robust dub techno stylings by which the Brickman sound is best
identified, but also beatless moments of absolute beauty in “Please Let
Go” and “Living In The Dark”, plus a bit of upbeat experimentalism in
“Through The Gap”."

"Following up his 8 Bit Beauty EP on Loose Squares and what
seems like a new remix every week, we are very excited to announce the
release of Norway’s own Slick Shoota on Jeffree’s . “Percussion Skank”
is 3 catchy, next level originals from Slick Shoota, showing us how he
flips traditional Chicago Juke like no other. Each 160bpm track stands
on its own as a unique percussion assault on your ears."

"'Unspeakable' is the second album by Danny Bow, an independent musician from Kraków. This newest release is a continuation of the creative path he took in 2010 with the album 'Frozen Memories'. Back then it was his first release under a new alias and with a new approach to composing and creating original music. The new album, entitled 'Unspeakable', on the one hand confirms these creative choices, on the other it elaborates on them. The material is entirely instrumental, with a few tracks enriched with vocal samples and dialogues. The sound of piano, which is the leitmotif of the album, has already become Danny Bow’s trademark."

Export label statement:
"In view of the fact that the media allegations of plagiarism made
against a number of tracks on Danny Bow’s album have turned out to be
true, the Export Label team has decided to remove the material from the
label’s listing. This decision has been made due to the questionable
artistic and creative value of „Unspeakable”. It is a serious moral
shortcoming on Danny Bow’s part, in no way consistent with the policy of
Export Label. We extend our apologies to our listeners and fans as
well as all organizations cooperating with us on a regular basis (news
services, radio stations, media patrons) for this unfortunate situation.
We would like to inform you that the album ”Unspeakable” will still be
available online (on social networking and music sites), however, Export
Label has withdrawn from the distribution of the above mentioned
material. It will no longer carry our label’s logo. We would also
like to assure you that we will go to any lengths to avoid similar
errors in the future, and to make sure our releases meet the highest
artistic standards, and never give rise to any such suspicion."

"Fresh off the heels of their full-length opus “Vodka & Ayahuasca,”
The Alchemist and Oh No are back, bringing their Gangrene noise on a
whole other level. The “Odditorium” EP begins where “Vodka &
Ayahuasca” left off, with Al and Oh lyrically blessing the masses over
gritty, psychedelic rock-tinged beats."

"On the eve of the second b-day of the label and following the success of
the release Don’t believe the hype (part 1) (platinum record with over
40.000 downloads on the web), Sostanze Records’ mavericks are back with
their usual energy and the maturity reached thanks to the experience on
stage at national and international events to which the artists of the
netlabel have attented during the last times. Maturity that has made
precious a background already peculiar, finally allowing them to be on
the spotlight of the media and rewarding the ambitious project aimed at
spreading a musical culture where it is not compulsory to pay for
listening to high quality beats. The compilation offered is a mix of
electro, dubstep and drum'n'bass, ready to burn your stereos and give
you the right music for a night among friends, through the different
approaches to the electronic music proposed by the several artists, each
of them with his unmistakable style. The Additive opens the atmosphere
with its Sentient Beings, then follow NeZoomie with its Heavy Phat Gun,
the show-man showman Bebop with its Scuola Benassi and the revelation
Flux with its Fresh meat to eat. The most famous dubstep/drum'n'bass duo
of the netlabel IlKobra e Red-.-box with Pissing to the bass and the
BrokenSpud’s absolute bomb The Day Will Come close the loop. Don't
believe the hype."

"Blocktreat is the solo-moniker of Vancouver producer and
multi-instrumentalist Brandon Hoffman. A self-described control freak,
it was just a matter of time before Brandon took a detour from playing
in bands and producing other artists to concentrate on his own breed of
sample-based instrumental music. Blocktreat draws from a diverse musical
background to blur the lines between electronic and acoustic music.

Traditionals takes inspiration from the blacksheep of the electronic
community like Four Tet, the Books, and Prefuse 73. The album was
constructed from field recordings of friends jamming out bluegrass
standards in the back yards and living rooms of East Vancouver. The
fresh, spontaneous vibe of the source material is contrasted with
Blocktreat’s signature ‘tiny equals beautiful sampling aesthetic.
Brandon let the music take on rich variety of forms -- from mildly ADHD,
to smooth, organic and evolving. Like a collage of blurry photos from a
summer road trip with friends, Traditionals is a soothing microcosm of
earthy, down-tempo goodness.

Brandon works in Vancouver under the alias of Gnomegrown Music,
producing and performing with acts such as Miami Device, Colin Easthope,
and Myriam Parent. The name ‘Blocktreat’ is a reference to the
silviculture industry. Treeplanting is a job and lifestyle that, for a
month or two each spring, allows Brandon to escape from the city.

The album is available via pay-what-you-want download, or in hand printed, 100% recycled packaging through jellyfishrecordings.com. "

"Welcome to the eighth release of Cicuta Netlabel. For an artist, all
his works are something unique, something special. If you answer him
about his favorite, he probably tell us it’s difficult to highlight only
one.
But always there is some works which, for one reason, are in a special
place in his mind, and are usually reserved for a special occasion. In
this case, Drugstore’s crew, sign this EP, with three special tracks,
reserved for this great moment.

On one hand we have 2 tracks (Gaia and Kundalini) designed for the
dance floor, closer to offbeat, with vocals and unconventional samples.
Moreover, we have a more experimental track (Circon), closer to the
netaudio world, in which this kind of works are usually well received.

About remixers, we have to Oliver
Kucera, Czech producer based in Holland, one of the birthplaces of
techno, with a track with a lot of strength. Oliver is one of the most
promising artists in the European techno scene, as well as demonstrates
their great collaborations with artists like Mattias Fridell, Space DJz
or Carlos Rios. Recently, he has started his own label, Kucera Records,
with a very good acceptance in the first release.

Another artist who is with us is CBTØ, Spanish artist from Seville,
currently residing in Berlin, and one of our favorites in recent times.
Jorge is a different artist, making music not usually oriented to the
mainstream, but puts the soul into every track, and that is something
that hooks you from the first listen.

Finally, we present a new Spanish talent, David Meiser, who has made
an impact since his first track, being played by the great Dave Clarke
in his radioshow. It has a style closer to old hard-techno from Eastern
Europe, which is much appreciated in these times…

"Get free of your day-to-day problems! It´s time to be revived and drift by upcoming spring time.

Go
out from your cheerlessness flats with help from English producer
Trigoney with the track Liberty. Inviting house tempo coloured by lazy
sound of the saxophone. Whole release is upgraded with great remixes by
Bollo, Atomic ElectroLab and Plutones. This is the right choice! "

"Having built up a solid reputation for hard hitting, industrial tinged
beats with his previous work, Anodyne Industries takes things down a
notch for the eigth Manifesto Music release, exploring the deeper end of
Drum & Bass in his own inimitable style.

The EP opens with the minimalistic, eastern sounds of ‘Amenomibashira’.
Delicate strings and expansive pads drop into a deep sub bass line,
subtle kick drum and distorted synths. A refined, understated track, the
plethora of minute details in the soundscape not instantly recognisable
at first make it a rewarding listening experience and a fitting way in
which to open the release. ‘Shadows On The Moon’ takes the energy
levels up a notch as processed snares anchor the growling bassline and
raw synth work. Watch out for the second drop...

From dark to light we progress with ‘Critical Space’, the most stripped
piece on the EP. Pulsating bass and skittering hats are the all the
elements this track needs to suck you into its hypnotic atmosphere. Again,
there is a ying to a yang and the EP is rounded off with the weighty
‘Reconstruction’. Sinister vocals, twisted guitars and masterful drum
edits hint at the harder sounds Anodyne Industries is known for. Screw
faces at the ready..."

"Afterhours Sessions it's a new special series of releases curated by Ritmo Sportivo. Simple rules: one night, one producer,
one session. This project
will bring together electronic and hip-hop producers from all around
the world who are not afraid to enter in full contact with the listener
and show the process of transforming inspiration into a digital form.

"After months of hard work in the UK, Bulimic Orgy and Mile came back in Latvia and teamed up for another masterpiece releasefor Dusted Wax Kingdom. Inspired by the old Soviet Union's garage sound, "Reverse of The Void" (LP) is a remarkable lo-fi approach to the trip-hop perfection."

"Once a man is taught to fish, he can eat for a lifetime. This quote,
with its insight on learning how to prosper, was principle in the roots
of Sinitus Tempo, who at an early age saw the intellectual fruit of
underground hip-hop in his older brother. Now with 8 years of crafted
production in his strongbox, the professed “King of Inflected Pitch” is
taking antique sounds and sculpting them into jewels for future hits.

Announced as Nathan Peters on March 1st, 1989, the youth of this
producer was cultivated by the sounds of Madlib, Oh No, MF Doom, DJ
Premier, Barry White Just Blaze and Pete Rock. The adoration of his
older brother’s skill of writing music pushed the much-younger Sinitus
Tempo to match the words with a touch of sound. Under the technique of
“looping and adding” which allowed him to sample a record and use it
repetitiously with added drum effects, was the manner in which Tempo
enhanced his style---until he heard production by 9th Wonder and Khrysis
of the Justus League squad. Another gem was added to his toolbox of
knowledge and from there, he set forth on a journey of mastering the art
of reinventing classics. Through this understanding of manipulating the
pitch of old tunes, an intrigued Sinitus Tempo developed a style of his
own, building a more pronounced sound that have many awaiting his
signet of ability to stamp their music.

Loyal, but tight-nit is
the persona of Sinitus Tempo. Working alongside childhood friend and
producer Doc Battle, Tempo also manages a green, yet dynamic artist
named Obii Say, making him both dually active in the business and
artistic side of his production. His confidence is encouraged by a
strong history of collaborations with artists such as Markyland
(SRC/Universal), Mugsy Malone (Fantana/Universal) and A.B. the Producer
(Studio 43) as well as a long list of production work for hip-hop acts
from all over the world, ranging from names like RatheMC (who resides in
DC) to Twixx (who resides in the Netherlands).

The seeker of
vintage vinyl keeps his future motives in front of him, making plans to
collaborate with the likes of Lady Gaga, Ludacris, Common, Little
Brother, and every artist on DuckDown Records. In just a year, Sinitus
has made a serious name in the anime community with the release of four
highly-praised tributes to Claymore, Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, and
Soul Eater. Just from looking at the determination of Sinitus Tempo’s
aim at being one of the top underground producers of the hip-hop realm
makes the status of his upcoming projects look like an imminent win from
the start."
